(PRESS RELEASE) STRUER, 19-Jan-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Bang & Olufsen is the focus of a new luxury hardcover publication from Assouline that chronicles a century of design, innovation, and cultural influence from the iconic Danish audio brand. Titled Bang & Olufsen: 100 Years. And Counting, the book traces the company’s journey from its pioneering beginnings to its position today as a global symbol of beautifully engineered sound.

Founded in 1925 in Struer, Denmark, by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, Bang & Olufsen was built on the belief that technology should be as visually compelling as it is functional. Over the past one hundred years, this philosophy has shaped products that redefine how sound is experienced, creating acoustics that are not only heard but felt.

This legacy is captured in a landmark Assouline edition produced with the publisher’s signature editorial rigor and elevated visual storytelling. Through curated photography, rare archival material, and firsthand accounts, the book charts Bang & Olufsen’s evolution from its early experimental years to its status as a global design icon. It offers an intimate look at the people, products, and innovations that have defined the brand across generations.

Conceived as more than a historical record, the book is designed as an object in its own right, embodying a century of creativity, precision, and enduring style. Reflecting a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and storytelling, the publication highlights the ongoing dialogue between sound and design, heritage and modernity, with an eye toward the future.

Presented in a classic coffee-table format, Bang & Olufsen: 100 Years. And Counting measures 28 centimeters in width and 35.5 centimeters in height and spans 231 pages. Featuring original writing by bestselling author Rosecrans Baldwin, the book is priced at €215 / $249 / £190 and will be available at Assouline boutiques worldwide, on Assouline.com, in Bang & Olufsen stores, and from January 23 in selected regions on bang-olufsen.com.
